Aamir Khan Productions and Excel Entertainment are joining hands to launch a new microdrama platform in India. The platform will focus on short, episodic stories designed for mobile phone users.
According to a PTI report yesterday, the two production houses will combine their existing content libraries and develop original stories specially for the microdrama format.
The platform will also feature content created through partnerships with digital and YouTube creators.
The companies are in discussions with several popular digital creators for exclusive content partnerships.
This will help the platform bring together professionally produced stories and content from established online creators.
A prominent telecom company has also joined the venture as a partner.
This partnership is expected to help the platform reach a wider audience across India. However, further details about the telecom partnership have not been disclosed.
Microdramas are short, episodic stories designed for mobile viewing. They allow audiences to watch complete stories in small episodes.
